ホテル ラ バスティード サン マルタン(Hotel la Bastide Saint Martin)

This is a lovely hotel just outside the center of Carcassonne. The staff are wonderful, the breakfast is great, and the rooms are nice. As an American, I wish there was a proper shower vs the tub, but that's my only complaint. It was fantastic otherwise and my wife and I would definitely stay again!

A few negative things. There's a charge to use pool towels and you can't use the room towels. The Internet is basically useless.

A very beautiful hotel set in lovely surroundings, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully appointed. Alain and Isabelle could not have done more to make our stay more comfortable - even going as far as putting a further mattress on to the bed to make getting in and out of it easier due to my husband having had a recent hip replacement Nothing was too much trouble. We only had breakfast on one of the days but there was a good choice available with lovely fresh produce. The pool was kept immaculately and always welcome at the end of a day of sightseeing. Having a gated property with plenty of available parking was also a bonus. I cannot recommend this lovely hotel highly enough for a calm, relaxing break away. Thank you.

We had a very nice stay for two nights. The location is perfect, 10 minutes from the busy, touristic city of Carcassonne. It’s a peaceful place to return to after a long day of walking and viewing. One problem was that there is no fan in the bathroom, so a shower steams up the entire room, but you can’t open the window unless you want tons of bugs to fly in. There are no screens on the windows. As a result, our towels and bathing suits never dried and everything got kind of moist. We had a towel dryer in our room that didn’t work. The showers themselves are very nice with high water pressure. It’s the first place we have had to pay for a crib in the room for our baby and the breakfast was very expensive, so we didn’t do it. The pool is very nice, but you have to pay extra for a towel.

We had a four day break at this hotel On the plus side, very clean, good breakfast, nice pool area and quiet location. Hôtel not in city centre so you will either have to get a bus round the corner or a taxi. Warning, taxis are few and far between so getting back to hotel can be tricky and expensive. This hotel is really a bed and breakfast as they don’t offer lunches and there are no local restaurants which is problematic if you just want to relax around the pool all day. You can get drinks but we formed the view that the owners would rather you spend the day out.

A beautiful peaceful place with an excellent warm pool. Miriam was just lovely and welcomed us warmly. She was so knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions about the surrounding area and arming us maps and timetables. A perfect host! It was disappointing that our room did not have a fridge. As food is not available on site apart from breakfast, a fridge would have been most welcome in order to store snacks. Overall a lovely peaceful place.

Reasonably priced hotel, but pretty far out from the main Cite de Carcassonne. Make sure you make arrangements if arriving after hours, this was a major challenge upon arrival as the reception was already closed. The rooms are pretty small and nondescript. Breakfast is overpriced for what is offered. I would likely not return to this place.

We had a perfect stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly, rom nice and clean, breakfast delicious! Would defintively recommend to stay here for our visit to Carcassonne. Quiet and peaceful stay.

Are only regret was just staying one night but we will be back , great location near Carcassonne , rooms lovely appointed , clean , it is a gated hotel with lovely grounds and pool area , staff great , my personal thanks to the hotel management as Ryanair cancelled flight within 24 hours of stay so as per booking we would lose reservation and money , however the hotel allowed us to move our reservation and therefore not lose our money at no cost , even though legally they didn’t need to , that is customer service and the sort of hotel I will always appreciate , great hotel and great attitude , merci and will book again on our next visit , highly recommended
